Ebollia Minter & Caine 1980
LSU tree incorporating sequences from Fitzroyomyces into sequences from Balloch et al. (2010).
The fungus reported by Ekanayaka et al. (2019) as the teleomorph of Fitzroyomyces on the basis of an ITS sequence match, is clearly morphologically typical of Stictis. The Fitzroyomyces images in Crous et al. (2017) appear to match those from Johnston (1983) for anamorphs described from culture for some Stictis spp. The LSU tree suggests that Stictis may be polyphyletic, and Fitzroyomyces may be a name for the Stictis anamorphs tentatively referred to Ebollia by Johnston (1983). Unfortunately, DNA sequences are not available for those Stictis spp. reported to have Ebollia anamorphs. The Ebollia description in Nag Raj & DiCosmo (1982) is very similar to Fitzroyomyces, and the two genera may be synonymous.
